Supposedly creates Vial of the Sands which transforms you into a drake, and allows you to carry an ally on your back. Don't know much about it now, but if it's half as cool as it sounds I'm going after this soon as Cataclysm hits.

So will I. My paladin will have a reason pick up alchemy. That just sounds too cool to be true though. Can't wait.

Is anyone else dreaming of flying up high and then dedragonafying and then casting slow fall? With an unsuspecting rider of course...

评论来自 GilbertoGrape

I think, more accurately, it teaches you how to transform into a dragon much like how reins teach you to ride a particular mount. Essentially, you drink it once, and you can transform forever. I could be wrong, but that's just how I interpreted it.

评论来自 GilbertoGrape

The way I'm reading it makes it sound like the potion is equivalent to reins. You don't drink the potion to transform, you drink it to learn the transformation and then you can transform forever. I was wondering how the riding work though. Is it going to follow the same rules as the Rocket mount?

Alchemy crafted mount 2 person.

According to Ghostcrawler during BlizzCon 2010; this recipe will be very difficult to get and it should be considered a massive achievement. Probably after release someone will get this right away. Also hinted that every major profession should have a craft-able mount.

Unless your unsuspecting passenger is aware of this, then decides to attack you into combat.... then my hunter engineer will just parachute to your corpse ;) Got to admit, is would've been a nifty trick, tho.

Edit: You have to be grouped to ride on someone who's using this mount. And since you cannot force a group member into combat by attacking, perhaps a druid can pull this off.

29,000 Gold for vendor mats (Goblin discount confirmed to work 23200G)I am guessing another 20-30k for other mats.

*NOTE:You need 450 Archeology to obtain the recipe, and it is extremely RNG. I have heard it was obtained with an alchemy skill as low as 225, though it requires 525 to make.(Approximate odds)13% Chance to get a Tol'Vir digsite in Uldum (you need 3-4 to complete a Canopic Jar)12% Chance to be working on a Canopic Jar10% Drop rate of the recipe out of a Canopic JarSo assuming you get 1 Tol'Vir digsite every 30 min and about a 1.5%* chance of getting this for every 3-4 digsites.We are talking about an average 1200** hours of archeology. This does seem a bit high, so I am hoping the rates I have are wrong. Please post if you have better data on the rates.

You don't. It's discovered via Alch research (or slightly less likely while crafting other alch pots/flasks/whatever).

But there is no "Cataclysm Alchemy Research" yet, right?

评论来自 ChaosZereul

So this basically combines aspects of the profession-only-flying-mounts we've seen thus far and the massively-expensive-vendor-mats that the bikes have, but sticks to the former in terms of availability.

This sort of sucks. Comparatively, this mount is ten times as badass as any other Profession-created mount. Hell, it's more badass than most mounts in the game period. It could just be my personal bias, but I'd hate to see this stay BoP. Give Alchemists their own mount, sure, but if you're gonna go to the trouble of making it a gold sink, let others invest in it as well, I say.

Maybe the recipe drops from Tiny Treasure Chest which you get from killing mobs while under the effect of Potion of Treasure Finding. And it only drops for Alchemists at 525.

Im only speculating and im sure it has been said before.

According to MMO champion and a GM, this recipe is received through archeology. NOT through some kind of alchemy discovery proc.

If not .. this stuff sucks big.

评论来自 regma

Then what about Scribes?

评论来自 techniquees

Is this recipe only going to drop if you have Alchemy? the sheer mass of "BoP" between the recipe AND the actual craft item makes it seem a colossal waste of time if you happen to pick it up as anything but an alchemist. Not to mention the amount of cry's you'd recieve from your guilds alchemy pro's.

评论来自 Millidor

Maybe this has already been asked but, if this Alchemy Recipe is discovered by Archaeology (which is a secondary spec), and lets say my two primary specs are not Alchemy, will I still be able to discover it or is there a mechanic in the game that only lets people who are Alchemist discover it? I understand the recipe is BoP so you can't trade/sell it. Because honestly, and me being a Blacksmith/Jewelcrafter, I would be very tempted to delete one of my two primary professions just to level Alchemy so I could make this.

Has anyone discovered this as of yet and if so, did they have Alchemy as a primary profession?

评论来自 Latias

Yes the recipe drops for Alchemists only, but in fact you might think that it's discovery of some sort via alchemy... Nope.

This recipe drops (Dunno if guaranteed) From Canopic Jar 坎努匹克陶罐Which again is from Archaeology. So those who have desperately been looking for this recipe, happy hunting!

To start off you will need 29,000g for the Vendor materials. Just like the Mechano Hog or Chopper.- 5,000g for the Pyrium-Laced Crystalline Vial (Sold only by Yasmin in Uldum)- 3,000g each, for the Sands of Time (Also only sold by Yasmin in Uldum) You need 8 of these Sands so thats 24,000g.

Thats 29,000g in total for Vendor Materials Alone. Yasmin is the Innkeeper of the small camp near the Oasis of Vir'sar. At the very top of Uldum.

Now onto the Materials... Yay!

First off is the Hardest of them all. Truegold. For this you will need:

Now you need Flask of the Winds x8In total for all 8 Flasks you will need. (Elixir Masters might get more by chance.)- Volatile Life x48 (Can drop from all Herbs)- Azshara's Veil x96 (Only spawns are in Vashj'ir)- Whiptail x96 (Spawns along the River only in Uldum)- Crystal Vial x8 (Can of course be bought from your Local Alchemy Supply Store, for about 80 copper)

Now advancing to Flask of Titanic Strength x8You will need all this for all 8: (Elixir Masters might not need as much)- Volatile Life x48 (Can drop from all Herbs)- Cinderbloom x96 (Spawns near Fire: Twilight Highlands and Deepholm would be best)- Whiptail x96 (Spawns along the River only in Uldum)- Crystal Vial x8 (Can of course be bought from your Local Alchemy Supply Store, for about 80 copper)

Getting simple now...

Last thing we need is Deepstone OilThis is by far the easiest you could buy the Albino Cavefish x8 or if they are over-priced or you want to save money they are easily fished from Lakes in Deepholm, A good spot is called Silvermash and it is South-East of the Temple of Earth.- Deepstone Oil x8

And thats everything... Reminder that you can exclude all 120 of each Volatile Fire, Water and Air, and the Pyrium Bars if you in fact wish to buy the Truegold from the A.H.

Its quite a feat to get all this stuff, having a maxed mining, Herbing, and Alchemist would really help here.

Thats all and Happy farming!

.....About a week after I put this up Blizzard changed it to BoE... but it is still very expensive.

Edit: I got mine last week... The /mount special is the regular Drake Roar for some reason it is glitched and no sound comes out.. So it does the animation, but no roar. Also... The passenger seat is glitched and if you have a passenger they will be seated underneath your mount in a mounted Animation, This is obviously another bug. Treat this more of a mount then a shapeshift, Its just a mount without a rider.

评论来自 valkiirifire

So, all these crazy expensive mats AND we have to "find" the recipe from archeology? Very misleading, it's been advertised all this time as an alchemy item, so one would have assumed you learn it in alchemy NOT archeology! Anyone know if there is a tabard for the folks that sell the vial and sand?

评论来自 Tirasmol

I was given this today, as a Christmas gift. I do not have Alchemy, and my Archaeology skill is currently 350. I was able to use it, and have been flying people around all day. It's fantastic! So you don't need Alchemy or anything else to get/use it (if you have extremely generous friends). However, you DO need Alchemy in order to discover the pattern. The good news is that you can simply gather the materials and find an alchemist that has already learned the recipe and have him or her make it for you. I'd start looking for it on the auction house soon, as well.

Right, now that we are fully aware that the Mount is very, very hard to come by, I have some genuine questions. Not silly, genuine.

-Does this mount have some form of unique casting animation?

-Are emotes such as /sleep and /roar effective?

-Failing that does /mountspecial work?

-Does it have an eject passenger option?

-Does being struck in combat dismount you or does it count as a shapeshift?

Okay, questions over. Anyone feel free to answer, please do not downrate, I hope some other people are asking the same thing.

评论来自 Nikeyeia

Our guild master (<Steel Talons>, Burning Blade) was the first person on the realm to get this. Right now, two persons have the mount on that server.Needless to say, she managed to afford the mount by mining. She got 30k gold in three nights (Do not try this at home, seriously). She also says that the only way to get it is to be very patient.

I'm also trying to get it, by mining and doing loremaster of Cataclysm. Right now, the parts I need is around 45k on AH. So I guess I'll just wait 10-12 days, and try to get at least 1k/day (I'm at 22k right now). The action house prices should be significantly decreased by then.

One of the easier ways to get this is by either being miner or alchemist. While I'm farming the money by mining, I also manage to get some Volatile elements. I'll later have some alchemists make the truegold bars for me.

I've got one thing left to say: Good luck in your farming, out there. :)

Mount is bugged as well like the new drakes. When a player mounts on you they sit on your two front claws. Doesn't look too bad, almost as if you've picked them up.The mount isn't registered as a vehicle either, so if someone mounts on you, they can't get off unless you dismount or they log off.

The drake now functions properly in the terms of other characters sitting on you properly as of 4.0.6. They will now appropriately ride you (Giggity) whilst sat in your saddle, however it is worth noting that you will not -scale- in size when someone mounts you (Giggity) and in the case of some races, their head simply pokes out of the saddle.

评论来自 Thortok2000

沙石幼龙. Two passenger flying mount. You actually transform into a dragon that has nobody sitting on your back, and can fly around that way or offer someone in your group a ride on your back. Don't have to be an Alchemist to become a dragon. Do have to be an Alchemist (and an Archaeologist) to make a vial. Don't have to own one to ride on someone else. Gives an achievement to have it: 时沙之瓶.

(Alchemists Only) Continue to do Archaelogy on the Kalimdor continent, specifically Tol'vir digsites if possible, until you get 坎努匹克陶罐. Good luck!

(Alchemists Only) Open your 坎努匹克陶罐 and hope it contains a 配方：时沙之瓶, and if so, then learn it. Good luck! Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as necessary. While it is possible for the recipe to appear even if you are not yet at 525 Alchemy, it will only appear to Alchemists of a certain level of skill; so I recommend staying on the safe side and getting to 525 Alchemy first. You'll need it anyway to actually learn the recipe!

Gather 12x 真金, 8x 风行合剂, 8x 泰坦之力合剂, and 8x 深石之油. Hopefully you can figure out how to do this on your own.

Save up 29000 gold or the following items: 燃钢水晶瓶 will cost 5000 gold. 8x 时之砂 will cost 3000 gold each for a total of 24000 gold. These mats can only be bought from 雅斯敏 in the far northwest of Uldum. Finding any of these mats for cheaper than the listed price on the Auction House is unlikely, but possible*, so make sure you check because it could save you money. Obviously, don't buy them for more than the listed price. Duh.

The mats from Steps 4 and 5 will be used to make the vial. If you are not an Alchemist, you will need to find one that has completed Step 3 and you'll have to give them the mats to make it.**

*The mats in Step 5 are bought from a vendor so the guild perk can be used for a discount. No other forms of discounts are currently known. If you do not have this perk, you can check the Auction House to see if someone who does is selling at a discount. Since it could potentially save you money, why not check?

**Make sure you protect yourself! If you get scammed, GM's can and will take action to get your gold and/or mats back, just open a ticket. In order for them to confirm it was a scam, make sure the entire transaction is negotiated using in-game text chat so the GM can read the chat log and confirm that you have been scammed. (Hopefully this won't happen anyway, but 29k+ in mats is a respectable chunk of money, so make sure to cover your bases.) This 'scam protection' is provided for all forms of scams, including the 'give you the mats to make an item and you keep them and give me nothing' scam, as scamming is against the ToS!

I recommend, for Alchemists making this for yourself, after you make your first one, check your realm to see if there's anyone willing to buy this for extremely high prices (like, 60k or higher, perhaps even 80k). If you get enough profit, make another one and attempt to sell it. Keep going until you don't get any buyers for awhile, making and selling one by one, and then if you go a long time and can't sell your current one for a profit, THEN learn it yourself.

I reckon crafting fees to be around 500-1500g nowadays. Provided that the customer provides all materials.

There is no cooldown when creating the vials. You can spam your gold away!

I can confirm that with and 哪里都有好买卖 the vendor materials cost 16800 + 3500 = 20300g. (Patch 4.1).

Putting the vendor materials on the AH/Neutral AH costs LOADS.

This is probably one of the best ways of transfering gold between servers.

As of 4.1 there is an achievement for obtaining and learning the dragon (时沙之瓶). Keeping it in your inventory won't work.

配方：时沙之瓶 for learning to create this mount this is thought to have around 9.5% drop chance from 坎努匹克陶罐 (Tol'vir Archeology) according to this wowhead survey. RNG is however RNG, and only RNGesus can control it.

Putting the finished mount on AH costs 7.5g per 24 hours.

The craft can NOT procc. It doesn't matter whether your elixir/potion/transmution. All alchemists with the required skill can learn and craft it.

As of 4.0.6 you can no longer use shapeshift items while in 'drake-form'.

My Dwarf Mage Vlindurtjuh has something to tell you, so I will let her :)

When I was just a little girl, back in Ironforge, I'd sneak out of bed and sat at the top of the stairs, to hear the stories that were told in my parents' inn. Those stories would tug on my heart strings like nothing had ever before, and would never after. Against all advice and judgement I went to seek out this Vial, this elusive Recipe, that had defeated the toughest of explorers. I walked, rode, ate, drank and slept amongst Humans, Draenei, Gnomes, and others in search of this one item... this One Great Prize.

Sand, sand, sand, as far as my eyes could see. Sifting through sand, breathing sand, coughing up sand, until my eyes fell shut and the night spread her starry blanket over me. And I dreamed... The Recipe for The Vial... mine... Eternal fame and fortune... mine...

Last night, as I was updating my journals, I found myself flipping the pages, back to my first Uldum Canopic Jar, more than 1 year ago. Such a long time! I put my journal in my backpack, laid myself down, pulled my blanket over me, when suddenly...

"pssttt!"

I bolted up straight and noticed some movement outside my tent. I opened the flap to find no one there, just a piece of rock with a note slipped under it.

"TONIGHT!"

A silly note? An Omen? How could I know? Unable to sleep, I decided to go for just one more dig...

After the Ruins of Khintaset, I was only 15 fragments short of opening another Canopic Jar, so I checked out the Broken Pillar Digsite in Tanaris, while impatiently hoping for another Uldum dig.

Yes!

Schnottz' Landing!

As I fumbled to fit the final fragment into the Canopic Jar I almost dropped it. When I heard it click into position I realized I had closed my eyes. It took a lot of effort to open them, and I saw...

Mummified Organ...

Pah! so much for "TONIGHT!"

Then I looked at my journal. What? Another Canopic Jar to be found? A quick calculation told me that I would need not just One, but even TWO Tol'Vir Hieroglyphics! I threw whatever caution I had inside me to the desert winds...

My heart lept in my throat when I discovered not just One, but TWO hieroglyphics, it almost stopped beating when the 6th and last dig brought forth the EXACT amount of fragments to complete this Canopic Jar...

I forced myself to not even BLINK this time...

What my wide-open eyes beheld, turned my legs to Haggis and I fell to the ground. The Sands of Uldum drank my tears, as my trembling hands held:

You can find her at the beginning of the instance... once you enter, go all the way down those stone steps and immediately turn LEFT. Keep going about 50 yards and you will see her hovering above a pond.

Now that you can do 10 instances in an hour, I go do this on my rogue and just park her outside the instance for an hour until the restriction has expired. From start to finish, it takes me less than 10 minutes to do all 10 kills/resets. I must have killed her at least 200+ times already, and only ONCE she didn't drop Hive Queen's Honeycomb. I usually get about 45-55 Volatile Air per 10 kills, so it will take you less than 30 min (not counting the 1 hr downtimes in between) to get enough to make Vial of the Sands, which I make fairly often for guild mount raffles... so if you are looking to make the same item, this is a great way to do it!

P.S. It takes 120 Volatile Air to make Vial of the Sands, but you also need 128 Volatile Life for the flasks required in that recipe. But, you should get enough Volatile Life within those 30 kills because the Hive Queen's Honeycomb is supposed to drop about as much Life as Air (4-6 of each). If you are intending to farm the mats for this mount yourself, and are going to pick the herbs required (Azshara's Veil x64, Whiptail x128, and Cinderbloom x64), you also have a 39% per Wowhead to obtain Volatile Life from picking any of those 3 herbs... although I'm not sure how much each time... it's probably a range of 1-3 Life if it appears with any of those herbs while gathering (should have paid closer attention!). And remember... if you have an alchemist make the flasks required for this recipe (Flask of Titanic Strength x8 and Flask of the Winds x8) instead of buying them off the AH, you will likely get *at least* 1 proc per type of flask (since you are making 8 of each), and end up with even more flasks than needed... so if you are short a few herbs, don't worry!

****EDIT: Spent all day today testing the quantity of Volatile Life that can be picked when herbing cata herbs. Looks like when you find a herb node that does have Volatile Life in it, you will always get 2-3 per node.
